Saw this on the KCRag site. They actually announced a route to Omaha, put the name Omaha in the list, and moved Omaha to where Kansas City is on the map...whoever did the map doesn't fly the planes, does he/she? http://i67.tinypic.com/iqa1oo.jpg LOL. That is hilarious... Ciao..LiO...Peace I find th...

This could be big news for Omaha if this deal goes through. Warren buffet , Amazon and JP Morgan will be looking into the Health Insurance business and creating a new company. The kicker is where to HQ this new company. I think Omaha is strong here since we have some pretty well known Insurance comp...

Regardless of the history of OPS, the amount of territory they controlled didn't matter, it was the choices they made (or were forced upon them?). If you create a city (or school district) people want to be in and a part of in the present, you'll achieve prosperity regardless of history. If you loo...

Really excited that we have our first international flight. Even though its from Canada it's still international which is a plus for Omaha, Eppley and the surrounding area's. What we need now is a couple more international flights to be started and I think that is coming down the pipeline in the fut...

Omaha mayor says future annexation of Waterloo is 'under consideration' Omaha city limits come within a mile of Waterloo, which covers the area roughly from the Elkhorn River to 240th Street, and West Maple Road to Blondo Street. Annexing Waterloo would put Omaha nearly at the doorstep of the large...

I think Nebraska and the surrounding counties neighboring Omaha need to collaborate and find a piece of land where They can buy up 1,000 acres to build in sewage ,electric and other components to make the site ready to build on. It would be very enticing for company to come along and see thag. They ...

Your answer is faulty any town or city with a population of 10,000 or more would need to vote on annexation by the city of Omaha. It wouldn’t simply just annex it. Secondly Gretna would be a great addition to Omaha and would give it access to the vital I-80 corridor. Thirdly this is premature and al...

Omaha can’t annex sadly across county lines like the others have said but if Gretna really wanted to stick it to Papillion and Sarpy county they should start something in the legislature or make a ballot issue to be Annexed into the city of Omaha. That would surely freak out Papillion I’d think. Jus...

Omaha has thankfully submitted a very long shot big for the HQ. What’s your thoughts on it and how do you think we can land such a deal? Also I was reading in the Omaha world Herald that Nebraska got passed up simply because we didn’t have a Mega site ready to go (1,000 acres). So any ideas how we l...

Sorry for the late reply. I recently have switched to a position where I’m not near a computer that much. As for annexation I see Gretna and Papillion are having a battle. Any idea why Gretna thinks papillion is bullying them?

I was recently reading a article that the FBI is looking to build there new HQ's somewhere. I was wondering why Omaha wouldn't be on there radar since it's centrally located and what not. Also why not move a couple of government agencies out here? Such as the VA and stuff.

Maybe the Nebraska Governor and the Iowa governor can work out a deal and Omaha can annex over State lines and just make it part of Omaha. Though I don't think that has ever been done before. My idea is that the Omaha City Govt would take over by Council Bluffs wouldn't be annex into the State of N...

Well Omaha is Annexing 3 little neighborhoods a lot then I was expecting. I see the Mayor's focus is now road infrastructure which there is nothing wrong with it. Omaha need's to get it's road's into shape. I just wish we Annex 7 Neighborhood's this time to spread the cost out further. Also Regardin...

I was reading on KETV that they are looking to build a new facility in Omaha or Douglas county and it would be for College baseball Hall of fame. I was looking at the picture and it looked pretty darn nice! I think it would be a excellent addition to Omaha. It would be apparently Open year round and...

I just read the article and I'm concerned they are taking money away from the streelightt fund but I'm also excited that in the fall they will come out with a recommendation on replacing the streetlights with LED lights. I am happy though they will be adding to the street improvement fund. Hopefully...

I surely do love reading that Omaha's population is growing and I hope it continue's to increase! You know someday Omaha is gonna reach 1 million people living within the city limit's. I hope to see that someday and still be alive. Omaha truly has potential to grow big time. I'm just curious why Cou...

I'm assuming your taking your photo's from the Pacific Life building? If so they are really nice High def photo's and I'm liking the progress being made on the building. Hopefully they can get the steel structure up before Fall. Can't wait to see the final building when it's all completed. It will t...

Well I guess that's good the schools are full it mean's Nebraska and Omaha have quite a bit of youth for future generation's to come. Hopefully they will stay here though I know half won't sadly. Omaha need's to make a plan to keep these young people here and contribute locally.

I'm 27 and I got my house for $105,000 it's off 42nd and Vinton. So there is nice house's for that price but rare. I think once they master 3D printing house's prices might go down? Either way we need to keep housing affordable in Omaha. We don't need house prices sky rocketing up like San Francisco...

Great that they are adding a Male elephant to the mix for breeding purpose's. Just depends if the elephant get's pregnant or not. Surprised they don't harvest the Sperm from the elephant and put it into cold storage and spread it too all the Zoo's with Female elephants.

Yeah it is about school update's and what not and building apparently 2 new high school's and some new schools. Apparently there is quite the amount of overcrowding happening. Seem's like Elkhorn and Omaha are overcrowding.

You know reading about OPS really make's my blood boil sometime's. How can a large school District like Omaha be so mismanaged? Just reading today they are thinking about asking the voter's for another $300 Million bond issue. I think I will be voting no on the bond issue because there Pension syste...

Just heard that it is narrowed down to three SIDs for this year, announcement should come soon. Just three SID's? I wonder what the population is like with the 3 SID's. Usually Jean Stothert is pretty grand with her annexation package's and tries to get around 10,000 people in them per annexation p...

Regarding the housing concern's if the house's are Below $200,000 you could see a younger family moving into those house's. I also really like the rendering that is shown above. Very sleek and modern. I think those Farm building's will be on the south farm if I'm not mistaken. It would be nice to ha...

Well I guess I could get in contact with my new council member about bringing this up during the city council debate or at least send a email up the Mayor's office and seeing what they have to say. I think if Omaha was serious about saving money they should look strongly into replacing the old stree...

The reason why the shuttle failed is because they located it all the way down in Bellevue. No one will drive past the zoo to just get on a shuttle and have them transported to that site. Secondly I'm not taking OWH as gospel I'm simply going off what they said I might be wrong with what I'm saying w...

Well it sound's like the Zoo is literally ignoring the cities call to do something about the parking situation since it's taking up city resources and causing traffic headache's for Omaha residents. I don't see the zoo taking any concrete measure to alleviate the situation at hand. I admit they are ...

Well if Omaha is serious they should look at charging the Zoo for the additional officer's time directing traffic. It's kinda a drain on resource's to be honest. That one officer could be stopping a crime or helping someone and the Zoo is taking up valuable resource's. Only way the Zoo will fix it's...

Well I was reading the Omaha World herald this morning and it look's like the State of Nebraska is going to be doing something about the traffic issue at the Zoo. They will be expanding the off ramp at 13th street and construction will begin in the fall and be completed in early 2018 by the look's o...

Who say's the Parking garage need's to be named? Omaha and the Zoo could both chip in for such a project and I would hope if they do expand parking that it would include 1,000 additional parking space's at the Zoo. That would be handle most of the traffic I think heading into the Zoo. It's quite the...

I do have to admit those issue's you can report to the city usually get handle in 2 to 5 day's depending what the task is. I reported a Pothole to the city got it fixed within 2 day's. Then they came out during the spring and replaced the entire intersection with fresh concrete. Report a house that ...
